Marvelous Interactive Inc. has now announced the official 2007 games lineup for the DS and the Wii direct from TGS 2006.

For the DS, Rising Star Games will release RPG games based on the Harvest Moon series: the Rune Factory - shin Bokujou Monogatari, Luminous Arc, and Bokujou Monogatari - Kimi to sodatsu shima. Under the Wii platform, Heroes and Bokujou Monogatari will be released.

The Rune Factory promises new monsters to fight and dungeons to explore. In Luminous Arc, you'll be immersed in a deep story and get to train your team, learn special attacks and combine objects to progress through the game. Bokujou Monogatari - Kimi to sodatsu shima allows you to build your own island while discovering new 3D characters.

Bokujou Monogatari on Wii lets you use the Wiimote in another Harvest Moon game to work the farm. You can plough the land, plant seeds, and cultivate crops. Heroes for the Wii (developed by Grasshopper Manufacture) is based on Killer7 for the GameCube, but is not a sequel to the game. It's a different game that lets you deal with social issues instead of political ones, as those found in Killer7.

TotalGamerZone today published an interview with Atlus USA PR Manager Zach Meston. The biggest part of the interview is about the upcoming DS RPG, Contact. Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and Marvelous Interactive, Contact is one of the most unique games you will find on the Nintendo DS.

The said title follows the character of Terry, who finds out that a spaceship has crashed on his planet. The spaceship is owned by a crazy professor, and Terry gets asked to find the Cells that power the Prof’s spaceship. But here's what sets Contact apart: The professor is aware of the fact that he's a character in a video game. He will often break the fourth wall and speak directly to the player. Terry, however, doesn't know of this.

Over the course of the interview, Meston mentions a few interesting facts about the game. Its unique gameplay originates in the idea of combining typical MMO combat with the visuals and atmosphere of a Harvest Moon game. For the combat, this means that if you want Terry to attack something, you simply select the target and Terry will fight his opponent until one of them flees or gets knocked out. It was also revealed that the game will contain a region in the game called WifiIsland. By collecting friend codes, the Island will become more and more populated and grant you cool new items or abilities in the regular game mode.

Another interesting snippet from the interview concerns Atlus' PSP efforts. Meston mysteriously commented, "we’re certainly not intentionally shunning the PSP, so don’t be surprised when we announce our first PSP title. Heck, it might be sooner than you think…"

And what's in store for Atlus fans regarding the Wii? Aside from Trauma Center: Second Opinion, nothing much so far. Since it's the first launch title for Atlus, they are apparently completely focusing on getting that one done right.
